Antinociceptive effect of some carboxypeptidase a inhibitors in comparison with D-phenylalanine

It had previously been shown that D-phenylalanine and hydrocinnamic acid, two in vitro inhibitors of carboxy-peptidase A, possess an analgesic action when injected i.p. in mice. We have studied the in vivo effects of indole-3-acetic acid, another carboxypeptidase A inhibitor, and of the following analogs of D-phenylalanine substituted in position 4: D-tyrosine, p-fluoro-D-phenylalanine and trifluoroacetyl-p-fluoro-D-phenylalanine. Whereas indole-3-acetic acid caused a higher and shorter analgesia in comparison with D-phenylalanine, p-fluoro-D-phenylalanine and its N-trifluoroacetyl derivative yielded both a greater and a much longer lasting analgesic effect. Since the latter compound showed only slight inhibitory activity on carboxypeptidase A in vitro, we suggest that inhibition of this enzyme and analgesia might not be directly correlated.
